Definitions

  • the present invention relates to providing web access to a plurality of users in a vehicle, for example in a passenger vehicle such as an aircraft or a ship, and has particular but not exclusive application to providing access to the Internet.
  • Proxy servers have been developed for local area networks to provide a common gateway from the network to the Internet.
  • Internet traffic to the local area network is routed through a common gateway which caches all the pages that have been accessed by the users on the network, in order to reduce the delay to the user.
  • a proxy server is marketed by Microsoft Corporation.
  • the proxy server has the advantage of reducing the bandwidth required for Internet access.
  • a method of providing web access to a plurality of users in a vehicle wherein the vehicle is provided with a web server for communication with the users, and means for providing a wireless link from the server to the web for use whilst the vehicle is in motion, the method comprising downloading into the web server in the vehicle, whilst it is stationary, at least one pre-selected web page to be accessed by the users during a journey in the vehicle.
  • the web server in the vehicle can be selectively loaded with a number of web pages that are commonly accessed by users during a particular journey whilst the vehicle is stationary and in proximity to a large bandwidth, low cost data source .
  • The, the downloaded pages may be selected according to the destination of the journey. In this way, large numbers of pages can be loaded onto the vehicle and access can be provided to the passengers without the need to make use of the wireless link, thereby optimising access time for the users.
  • the web server in the vehicle may be operative to store e-mail messages produced by users during the journey, and the method includes transmitting the stored messages from the vehicle whilst it is stationary, so as to reduce the load on the wireless link during the journey.
  • Use of the wireless link may be subject to a charge, whereas access of data from the web server on the vehicle, during the journey, may be free of charge or priced at a lower rate than the wireless link.
  • the web server may be operative to accumulate billing information relative to usage of the web through the wireless link, and the billing information may be downloaded from the server on the vehicle, when the vehicle is stationary. Use of the wireless link may be charged to a credit card account or other means of billing.
  • the wireless link may comprise a satellite link, for example making use of a satellite telecommunications system.
  • a satellite telecommunications system is the ICOTM system, aspects of which are described in patent publications WO 95/28747, WO 96/03814 and GB 2 295 296A.
  • Other examples include the InmarsatTM satellite system as described in "Satellite Communications : Principles and Applications" by Calcutt and Tetley, published 1994 by Edward Arnold, the IridiumTM satellite cellular system, described for example in EP-A-0365885, and the OdysseyTM system described for example in EP-A-0510789, EP-A-0575678 and EP-A-0648027.
  • the invention also includes a passenger vehicle provided with access to a web, comprising a proxy server, a local network within the vehicle to provide access to the proxy server for passengers in the vehicle, a transceiver for providing a wireless link from the proxy server to the web for use whilst the vehicle is in motion, and an input connection to permit the downloading into the proxy server, of preselected pages for access by the users during a journey in the vehicle.
  • a passenger vehicle provided with access to a web, comprising a proxy server, a local network within the vehicle to provide access to the proxy server for passengers in the vehicle, a transceiver for providing a wireless link from the proxy server to the web for use whilst the vehicle is in motion, and an input connection to permit the downloading into the proxy server, of preselected pages for access by the users during a journey in the vehicle.
  • the invention includes a device for downloading data into the proxy server of the vehicle, comprising a store of web pages categorised according to the destination of the vehicle, an output for downloading the pages into the proxy server in the vehicle, and user operable selecting means for inputting the vehicle's destination such that the pages categorised for the selected destination are downloaded into the proxy server.
  • the invention may be broadly considered as a passenger vehicle provided with Internet access, comprising a proxy server, and a local network within the vehicle to provide access to the proxy server for passengers in the vehicle.
  • a passenger aircraft 1 is provided with Internet access through a wireless link 2, 3 via a satellite 4 which forms part of a satellite communication system, for example the aforementioned ICOTM system.
  • the wireless link comprises an uplink 2 to the satellite 4 and a downlink 3 to a satellite earth station 5 which is connected through a public switch telephone network (PSTN) 6 or a public switched public data network (PSPDN) not shown, to servers which provide web sites for the Internet in a manner well known per se .
  • PSTN public switch telephone network
  • PSPDN public switched public data network
  • the Internet consists of a plurality of servers which support web sites that include a plurality of web pages. Web pages are identified by uniform resource locators (URLs) and links between various web pages can be established through hotspots on the individual web pages.
  • URLs uniform resource locators
  • web browser software such as the Netscape browser or the Microsoft Explorer.
  • This software is typically run on a user's personal computer connected to the Internet through a modem.
  • a laptop PC and modem may be used.
  • a personal organiser capable of running web browser software may be used for Internet connection.
  • the mobile user apparatus may be used to send and receive e-mail messages.
  • proxy server permits a single modem to be used to provide Internet access for all PCs connected to the local area network.
  • the proxy server is configured to cache access web pages so that when a particular web is accessed on a second occasion, the previously cached version can be used in order to reduce the time taken to download the page.
  • a typical example of a proxy server is the proxy server marketed by Microsoft Corporation.
  • the aircraft includes an Internet access point in the rear of each passenger's seat in order to allow passengers to connect their lap top computers or personal organisers, hereinafter referred to as user terminals, to the Internet.
  • user terminals UT 1 - UT n are shown connected via leads 8 1 - 8 n to terminal points T1 - Tn to a local, cable connection 9 which communicates with a proxy server 10.
  • the local connection 9 may comprise a coaxial cable, a twisted cable pair or alternatively an infrared connection or any other communication medium suitable for a local area network, known to those skilled in the art.
  • the proxy server 10 is connected to r.f. interface circuits 11 which drive a satellite antenna 12, which communicates with the satellite 4 shown in Figure 1.
  • the proxy server 10 is connected through a wired link 13 to an output terminal 14 which, when the aircraft is stationary on the ground, between flights, can be coupled through terminal 15 to a ground-based server 16.
  • the ground-based server 16 may comprise a personal computer which, in a conventional manner may include a display screen 17, a processor 18 including disc storage and a keyboard 19.
  • the store 18 of the ground-based server 16 stores web pages categorised according to the destination of the aircraft.
  • the keyboard 19 can be used to select the web pages categorised for a particular destination.
  • the selected web pages can then be downloaded into the proxy server 10 when the aircraft on the ground, in transit by connecting the terminal 15 to terminal 14 on the aircraft, to enable the selected web pages to be downloaded through the wired connection 13 to the proxy server.
  • the proxy server operates in the conventional manner to cache web pages accesse through the wireless link 2, 3 in order to minimise access time for subsequent re-use by any one of the users through the network 9.
  • the proxy server 10 When a user requests Internet access through the wireless link 2, 3, the proxy server 10 prompts the user for information concerning a credit card account so that the proxy server can accumulate billing information to be charged to the credit card account. When the aircraft lands, the billing information together with the credit card details are downloaded through the wired link 13 to the ground-based server 16, which subsequently downloads the billing information to credit card billing computers through link 20.
  • the described system also provides a novel way of handling e-mail messages.
  • the users through their user terminals UT, can produce and send e-mail messages, which are temporarily stored in the proxy server 10.
  • the e-mail messages are downloaded through the wired link 13 to the server 16 on the ground, which subsequently downloads the e-mail messages through the conventional, ground-based link 20, for onward transmission.
  • the e-mail messages and web page requests may be allocated different priorities. For example, if an individual user, during the flight wishes to send an e-mail message with a high priority, the usual message storage facility will be overridden and the e-mail message will be sent via the wireless link, 2,3, through the satellite network. Using the high priority facility would incur a charge to the users credit card account.
